Chapter 16:
RPOV
PREGNANT. I walk backwards till my back hits the wall, and then I sink down to the floor. I'm 18 years old, unemployed, and pregnant with my boyfriend of 1 month.
Lissa looks at the tests and then walks towards me and sits down.
"Rose.." she starts
"Lissa, what am I going to do? I'm too young to be a mom. I would be a horrible mom, I mean look at mine. What if Dimitri doesn't want kids? What if he doesn't want me anymore that I'm pregnant?" I whisper. Tears started flowing down my cheeks.
"Rose don't be stupid you're nothing like your mother, and as for Dimitri, he would never leave you, he's been in love with you since forever. He'll be ecstatic! It may be a little sooner than he might like but I assure you he'll be happy. And well if he isn't I'll kick his ass." I laugh through my tears at the idea of sweet innocent Lissa beating Dimitri up. She puts an arm around me and I lean my head on her shoulder.
We lay there for about 5 minutes. "Rose you should get cleaned up Dimitri might be home soon." I nod she gets up about to leave but I grab her hand.
"When should I tell him? Today?" I ask her
"No not today ummm.." Lissa starts thinking.
"How about tomorrow? After the wedding reception?"
She nods," Yeah do it then, now get cleaned up"
She leaves and I stand up. Damn, yep. I needed to clean up I had mascara tears running down my face. After taking off all my makeup I put on fuzzy snowman pants and a tank top. I put my hair up in a bun to keep out of my face.
As I was walking out of the room I look at the full-length mirror. I left up my shirt and feel my stomach. It was flat, for now. Ah man I'm a get fat! Ughh. I drop my shirt and walk out into the living room just as Dimitri walked in.
"Hello, Roza" he says walking up to me and kissing my forehead.
I smile,"Hey."
He shuffles through one bag and pulls out pickles. I grin and take them "Thank you" He walks into the kitchen to put the food away and I settle myself on the couch. Lissa and I finish painting our nails and we go to bed.
The Next Day
I wake up to the noise of an alarm clock. Groaning I sit up. Dimitri is still fast asleep with his arm draped over my side. I envy the fact that he is a heavy sleeper. Slowly I take his arm off my side to not wake him up. I get off the bed and turn off the alarm clock. I give Dimitri a kiss on the forehead and walk towards my room.
After I woke Lissa up she became a nervous wreck. I was trying to curl her hair but she was shaking so much. "Lissa chill! If you don't stop moving I'm going to burn you!"
She immediately stills, "Rose what if Christian regrets it! What if he doesn't want to marry me anymore!" I laugh at this, this guy was head over heels for her.
"Lissa Christian loves you, you guys have been together since elementary school! It's just cold feet." she nods," Yeah your right"
I continue curling her hair then I do her makeup. I put a light brown color over her entire lid then I put a darker color in her crease so that it looks smokey. I put mascara on her and then a shimmery white on the inside of her eyes to mak her look more awake. Lastly I put a rosy blush and a light pink lipstick on her. I help her into her wedding dress and shoes. Then went to go wake up Dimitri.
Oh, the struggles of the maid of honor.
Dimitri was laying on his back so I get on top of him. He still doesn't wake up. I narrow my eyes and start jumping up and down on him.
"Comrade it's Christmas! Wake up Santa's' coming!" I yell
He groans squinting up at me,"Really?"
I laugh,"No it's Lissa's wedding wake up"
"Okay okay im up!" I roll off of him.
But he still lays in bed. "Hey I'm gonna take a shower, want to join me?
He's on his feet dragging me to the bathroom, ugh men.
40 minutes later we get out and I go to get my dress. It was hanging on the dresser in a bag so it wouldn't get wrinkled. I pull it out and put it on. It was a lilac, floor-length, strapless, empire dress was pretty simple except from the sash of bedazzled diamonds right under my breast. I went back into the bathroom and started to curl my hair in loose curls. For makeup I just put on mascara and lip gloss. I wanted to look simple compared to Lissa today.
When I was done I just put in pearl earring and a simple necklace that had one small diamond. I slipped on my nude pumps and walked back into the bedroom. Dimitri had a tux on and was trying to tie a bow tie.
I laugh," Having some difficulty there comrade?"
He chuckles, "A tad." he looks up at me and freezes.
"Saw a ghost comrade?" I say walking up to help with his bow tie problem.
He smirks and grabs me by the waist," No I just realized I had the most beautiful girlfriend in the world." he says and kisses me.
I pull back to do his bow tie, "You just realized that comrade?"
He smiles, "No I knew I just felt the need to let you know."
I smile and finish his bow,"There you go now I have the most handsome boyfriend in the world to match." He smiles and kisses me again. I open my mouth to give him entry. The kiss start getting more and more passionate till we were breathing heavy and pulling each other closer.
But then we were interrupted, "If you guys are done now , I need a ride to my wedding which is in 30 min!"
I laugh," Liss what else were you expecting if you stayed here?"
But I agreed we were about to walk out of the house when I forgot something.
"Oh I forgot my clutch hold on." Dimitri and Lissa stayed in the foyer while I ran back to the bedroom. I grabbed my clutch and remember something. I went into the bathroom in the hall and opened the drawer under the sink. I pulled out the one pregnancy test that I kept and put it in my purse. I had to tell Dimitri today.
I stand up and walk back to the foyer "okay let's go"
We all pile into the car. Dimitri driving and me and Lissa in the back seat. I was doing last-minute touch ups.
"Do you have the crown?" I ask her
"Oh! yeah here." she hands me the small simple crown, well it actually wasn't a crown it was just the smaller version that brides where at their weddings. I slide it on and then attach the veil to it.
"Okay, your ready." I tell her she nods
We pull up to the cathedral and Dimitri opens the door for us to get out. We walked into the room right before the sanctuary. Everyone started to get in a line now that the bride was and I since we were near the front since we were both the maid of honor and the best man and then some other girls and guys that I didn't know.
The wedding march started and then the door opened. Zoya went out first since she was the flower girl and then paul the ring bearer. Dimitri and I interlocked arms and walked out. Damn there was a lot of people here, oh well, Lissa was pretty popular. Christian stood at the altar looking pretty a pyromaniac.
Dimitri and I parted at the altar. I went to stand as the first girl on the brides side and he went to stand behind Christian. Soon both sides started to fill up. I noticed one of the bridesmaid as Mia and One of the groomsman as Eddie.
Then Lissa walked down the aisle, she is probably the most beautiful bride I've ever seen. Most of the ceremony was a blur until when the priest said,"You may kiss the bride" They were shoving their tongues down each others throat and to be honest a good minute has passed. Everyone was waiting for them to finish so I thought I'd help them out.
"Hey you two this is a church, save some for tonight!" Everyone started cracking up even the priest. Christian pulls back and glares at me but then they finally walk out of the church Dimitri holds out his arm for me and we walk down the steps towards the reception which was right next to the church in a banquet hall. It was so beautiful, behind the banquet hall there was a garden with a water fountain in the middle.
The reception was in full swing, the DJ spoke through the microphone, "Everyone please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Ozera!" The door opened and they walked in together.
"Please clear the floor so they can have their first dance." the DJ says.
Dimitri and I were sitting at one of the tables watching.
They were so cute, you could tell by the way they looked at each other that what they had was true love. The first dance finished quick and then the DJ called all the singles girls out to the middle of the floor so that Lissa can toss her bouquet. I still sat though.
"Rose aren't you going to go up?" Dimitri asks.
"I'm not single?" I tell him.
"He meant everyone who's not married now go." he says pushing me up I smile at him and walk up. I'm not going to try to grab it though. All the girls are all excited trying to get as close as they can, and there were some girls like me who just stood in the back. Lissa turned around back facing us and counted down from 3. Just as she said 2 I yawned automatically closing my eyes. Then something hits my face. I put my hand out to grab what it was and then I see that it was the bouquet. To say the girls that didn't catch it were pissed was an understatement.
I looked up at Lissa who just smiled at me and winked, probably thinking how I was next to get hitched. I rolled my eyes and went back to my chair, I put the flowers down and sat down in the chair.
"You put up a tough fight for those flowers" Dimitri says sarcastically, he probably saw me just stand there.
I rolled my eyes, "You know it!" I say in fake cheer
Dimitri stood up and held out his hand towards me, "Will you dance with me?"
I smile and take his hand. We walk towards the center of the dance floor. He wraps his arms around my waist and I wrap mine around his neck. I lean my head on his chest.
"Do yo ever think about this with us?" I whisper.
"Us getting married?" he asks.
I nod against his chest.
"Of course I do Roza. I want everything with you." he says kissing my head.
I look up into his eyes, " Really?"
"Yes I want to marry you, I want to have kids, start a family, have a life, all with you." he says, eyes filled with love.
I pull on his neck and our lips meet. I kiss him with all the love I have in me. I was going to tell him. I pull back and say," I need to go talk to Lissa, but can you meet me by the fountain in the garden I have to tell you something."
He raises an eyebrow but nods ok and kisses my forehead.
I look around for Lissa, and I find her at a table with Christian. Ignoring him I walk up to her, "Should I go tell him now?" She nods excitingly "Yeah go!"
Christian looks at us and says, "Whats going on?" Lissa smiles and says, "Rose is pregnant!"
Christian spits his wine out," Holy shit your knocked up, well we all saw that coming soon."
I hit him over the head walking away. I go back to my table and grab my clutch, opening it I take out the pregnancy test. I walk towards the back door that lead to the garden. Opening it I see Dimitri's head on the other side of the fountain.
I look down at the pregnancy test in my hand. I take a deep breath and walk towards the fountain, as I get closer I see another person there talking to Dimitri. I walk around the fountain to get to where he was and freeze immediately.
Dimitri wasn't talking to someone. In fact he was kissing them. He was kissing Tasha.
